The 2024 election turned into a spectacle for the ages, one that will go down in history as the moment America decided to turn the wheel back towards common sense. President-elect Donald Trump triumphed over Vice President Kamala Harris, clinching the 47th President of the United States title. The numbers from this election could make even the most hardened progressive weep into their avocado toast.
The election results showcased Trump storming the battleground states with ease. In states that Democrats had long claimed as their own, the former president drove a bulldozer through their complacency.
Pennsylvanians, who had seemingly forgotten what it meant to have a leader who supported American jobs and values, returned to the fold, sending a clear message that they prefer a businessman with a vision over a politician keen on progressive platitudes. Exit polls indicated that trust in Trump’s promises about the economy outweighed Harris’s proposals, which sounded more like fairy tales than fiscal policies.

Harris’s attempts to rally her base around topics like climate change and social justice proved futile. Those issues fell flat in a nation craving stability and economic growth, resembling a bad stand-up routine. In contrast, Trump’s straightforward talk on energy independence and job creation struck a chord with many Americans who are tired of paying through the nose for gas and groceries. The stakes were clear: do they want an airy discussion on the complexities of climate change or concrete plans to keep the lights on and the economy humming?
Voter turnout offered Trump a buffet of victories, particularly among groups often seen as Democrat strongholds. Blue-collar workers, minorities, and even disillusioned liberals made the move, realizing that their economic realities were not addressed by lofty ideals but by practical solutions. Harris may have thought her administration could charm its way to victory with touts of inclusion and progressive jargon, but as the results show, the charm wasn’t cutting it this time. When faced with actual costs and consequences, people choose a proven leader over a politician.
The upcoming Trump presidency signals a returned focus on American interests—a refreshing shift from the previous administration’s penchant for international appeasement. Trump’s emphasis on national security and economic growth resonated with everyday Americans who want to feel safe and prosperous again. As the dust settles from the ballots cast, it is evident that the so-called “woke” agenda didn’t play well at the polls, leading many to speculate on the future of the Democratic Party. With Trump at the helm, there is a renewed optimism for traditional values and a thriving economy, leaving their plans to redefine America in the dust.
